Instructions

  • In the dutch oven you will bake the roast in* heat oil over medium heat. Sear all sides of the chuck roast until it is golden (2-4 minutes per side). See notes for using a frying pan to brown the sides.
    3 tbs olive oil
    browned chuck roast
  • When all sides are seared, removed chuck from dutch oven and set aside. Add onion and garlic to the dutch oven and allow to cook for 2-3 minutes. It should be fragrant.

  • Deglaze the dutch oven by adding the wine, scrapping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Allow wine to simmer for 3 minutes and reduce by half.
    1 cup dry red wine
    reduced wine
  • Then place the chuck on top of the onions and cover with potatoes and carrots. Sprinkle with rosemary and thyme.
    2 teaspoon dried rosemary, 2 teaspoon dried thyme
    potatoes, onions, seasoning, and roast added to dutch oven
  • Mix together flour and 1 cup of broth and pour into dutch oven.
    ½ cup flour, 4 cups beef broth
    broth and water slurry
  • Add remaining broth and Worcestershire to dutch oven.
    ¼ cup Worcestershire Sauce
    all ingredients in dutch oven
  • Cover and bake in preheated oven until beef falls apart/shreds easily, about 4-5 hours. The meat needs to reach at least an internal temperature of 195°F-200 °F to break down the tough connective tissue. Once cooked, season with more salt and pepper if needed and enjoy!

Notes

Tips and Tricks
  • *If you are using roasting pan that can’t be used on the stove, heat oil in a fry pan then sear the chuck on all sides. Once seared, move chuck to roasting pan, reduce heat in pan to medium low. Add in the onions and garlic to pan and sautee for a few minutes. Then add the wine and simmer for five minutes reducing by half. Pour this over the meat, potatoes, carrots, and onion. Add the broth as indicated in the directions then cover and bake as directed.
  • Crockpot Instructions: Follow instructions as if using a roasting pan, but place everything in the crockpot. Cook over high heat in the crockpot for 4 hours- check the internal temperature of the roast for doneness (195°F), it should be tender and falling apart.
